Spotify has a range of audio quality options to suit your device, plan, and preferences.

Here’s are the average amount of data per hour you can expect to use while streaming Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney Plus: Low 240p-320p: 300MB per hour. SD 480p: 700MB per hour. The Spotify Android app size is only 108 MB. The rest of your 2.5 GB is partly cache but primarily songs which you have stored offline. If you would like the app to take up less space I would recommend following the steps listed bellow, and not downloading songs to listen offline.

Hi, so today is the 12th of January but my free trail ends on the 16th. I dont want spotify premium after my free trial ends. I didnt really even want the free trail to begin with. I think i accidentally tapped something. How do i cancel it before im charged? The only thing on this tab is a button to start my free trial which I'm trying to cancel. I'm starting to get the feeling that since there is nowhere on the site to contact anyone at Spotify and no address or email to send the cancelation pdf supplied that I'm going to get charged either way. The mobile trial is different and doesn't need a payment method to be registered. The Spotify free premium trial cannot be cancelled, but dont worry its free so you wont be charged unless you gave payment info. If you gave payment info you can cancel your subscription by doing this: Canceling your subscription reverts your account to the Free. Hopefully I can use it to delink the new account that is connected to my facebook and link face book to my original account. However I cant unsubscribe from the my free trial on the new account. When I try to cancel on the account page it just points me to a renewal. You guys really need to make this stuff easier, not a jumbled mess. /cancel-my-spotify-free-trial.html.

Note: You can’t change audio settings when using Spotify Connect to play on another device.

You can have different settings for listening online (streaming quality) or offline (download quality).

Higher streaming quality uses more data, and higher download quality uses more space.

Podcast quality

Podcast quality is equivalent to approximately 96kbit/s on all devices except the web player where it’s 128kbit/s.

On mobile/tablet, if you change the music quality to low, the podcast quality will also lower to approximately 24kbit/s.

The average app file size is now 38MB for iOS mobile apps and 15MB for Android mobile apps. In this blog post, we explore how average file sizes vary between mobile app categories. With this knowledge, you can benchmark your mobile app against others to ensure your mobile app’s file size falls within norms.

Mobile app file size is important. If your mobile app is too large, it may be difficult or expensive for users to download. A lengthy ‘time to first play’ could turn users off before they even experience your mobile app. And a user’s device may have an extremely small amount of disk space. These problems compound if the developing world is part of your target market.

Spotify App Data Size Comparison

Mobile games, in particular, have grown rapidly in size. The app bundles need to include game assets and various SDKs. So a large bundle size comes hand-in-hand with a rich game experience. App developers are increasingly concerned with ensuring their app bundles remain as small as possible. So they choose lightweight SDKs or download content just-in-time where possible.

Average Android and iOS file size

Of all mobile apps published on the app stores, the average Android app file size is 11.5MB. And the average iOS app file size is 34.3MB.

But these figures include mobile apps that have a release date in the distant past. Indeed, if we look at mobile apps released in the past month, we see an average Android app file size of 14.6MB. And an average of 37.9MB for iOS mobile apps.

All subsequent figures in this blog post are for the mobile apps with a release date in the past month.

Average File Size by Category (iOS)

There are significant differences in mobile app file size between categories. It is no surprise that mobile games are the largest. The average iOS mobile game is 67.7MB in size, almost 80% larger than the average across all categories.

But it is the Newsstand category that is smallest on average. Average newsstand apps come in at 18.5MB. This is no surprise since these apps have a focus on content. So they tend to be lightweight.

The following chart ranks mobile app categories in order of average file size. These are figures for iOS mobile apps only.

Average File Size by Downloads (Android)

It is also worth noting a correlation between app file size and downloads. Looking at Android mobile apps, we can see that mobile apps with a large number of downloads tend to be large in file size, too.

Of course, this is not unexpected. The most popular mobile apps tend to be feature-rich. And that means additional code and assets which will pump up file sizes. Note that the figures for more than 50 million downloads suffer from small sample sizes.
